Special Containment Procedures:SCP-XXXX is contained at its original location, as the removal of SCP-XXXX has been deemed too logistically difficult to execute. SCP-XXXX is to be assigned multiple permanent security officers, to be stationed within the entrance to the building and outside the entrance to the room cointaining SCP-XXXX.

The building containing SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a weathered state, to discourage entrance by unauthorized civilians.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a sizeable library housed within [REDACTED]. SCP-XXXX is organized in a standard format for a collection of its size, with sections containing texts on history, science, and other fields. The largest single genre of literary materials within SCP-XXXX is unquestionably biographies. Where other genres are contained within single shelving units, the biography section of SCP-XXXX encompasses the four walls of the room containing SCP-XXXX, and various other shelves. The biography section contains many ordinary biographies of famous individuals, i.e. Alexander Hamilton, Napoleon Bonaparte, or Julius Caesar, but the majority of the texts appear to lack titles or other outward information.

Upon entry to SCP-XXXX, any human is free to move about as it pleases. After a period of 10-30 minutes, the subject is seen to be drawn towards one of the shelving units containing biographies. The subject will feel a strong compulsion to remove a book from the shelf, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1

Upon removal, SCP-XXXX-1 is shown to be a fully detailed description of the subject's life, including entrance into SCP-XXXX and discovery of SCP-XXXX-1. The subject will be engrossed by SCP-XXXX-1, and must be physically stimulated in some method in order to break concentration on SCP-XXXX-1. Researchers have found that audio and tactile stimulation are both effective. Further testing is required to determine efficacy of visual, olfactory, or gustatory means to regain contact with the subject.

If no means of contact is established with the subject, they will gradually begin to age as they read SCP-XXXX-1, each page turn eliciting roughly a year of aging to take place. Removal of the subject once this aging has occurred does not appear to reduce the effects of the aging. Post-mortem tests on subjects reveal that internal organs and bones also age at a similar rate with the rest of the body.

Once the subject reaches the conclusion of SCP-XXXX-1, they expire.

Attempts by the subject to extract another book, termed SCP-XXXX-2, have proved impossible. Any attempt to extract SCP-XXXX-2 relating to a different person fail, with the book being replaced by and identical copy of SCP-XXXX-1.

The lengths of SCP-XXXX-1 vary dependent on the subject.
